Re: Colts/Pats --- here we go again

I honestly have no idea what to expect out of this game. I could easily see the Pats taking a big lead early, and Luck leading the Colts back. Should be a high scoring affair for at least one team, neither defense is all that impressive.

The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!)

Re: Colts/Pats --- here we go again

We lost to NYJ and JAX. We have improved immensely since the Jets loss. Losing to bad teams is over for the 2012 Colts

But can still happen, lol... I agree that we've improved, but we still have a ways to go. I applaud your enthusiasm though. For real, it's better to endure that than it is to endure overwhelming pessimism. I actually think we could be close to 6-1, more like 5-2 or 4-3, but still, I think we have a decent shot at the playoffs. Even at 4-3, that puts us at 10-6. I don't even care about seeding, because this team is dangerous enough to scare any team, regardless of where or who. Luck is the guy that makes me believe that this team has a chance at any point in time.

There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.

We have arrived. Forget everything you have heard or read from the pundits about how bad we were supposed to be before the season started. Forget about the early losses while we were simply figuring out how to win. I know I don't have to tell you how great Andrew Luck already is. You were the one that first made the comparison to Lebron James, and I completely agree. Laugh at me if you want, but I'm expecting Luck to get us to the Super Bowl this year.

If turner beats out hill and mahinmi in camp then fine, but odds of that happening are slim.

Chapman, 6-0, 316 pounds, was originally selected by the Colts in the fifth round (136th overall) of the 2012 NFL Draft out of Alabama. During his 54-game collegiate career, Chapman was a part of two Crimson Tide National Championship teams (2009 and 2011) and produced 88 tackles (44 solo), 13.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and four passes defensed. As a senior, he contributed to a defensive unit that led the nation in total defense (183.6 ypg), rush defense (72.2 ypg) and scoring defense (8.2 ppg).

Miller, 6-5, 260 pounds, was signed by the Colts as a free agent on April 3, 2012. He was waived on August 31 and signed to the practice squad a day later. Miller was originally signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Mount Union on July 26, 2011 before being waived on September 3. At Mount Union, Miller totaled 87 catches for 1,259 yards and 16 touchdowns in 47 games, while earning All-Ohio Athletic Conference first-team, All-North Region first-team and All-America honors.

Nevis, 6-1, 310 pounds, appeared in nine game this season (three starts), totaling 20 tackles (seven solo) and one sack. For his career, he has played in 14 games (three starts) and has recorded 39 tackles (16 solo), one sack and one pass defensed.

Powers, 5-10, 187 pounds, started in eight games this year and registered 45 tackles (34 solo), seven passes defensed and an interception. Over his four-year career, he has started all 42 games he’s played while making 220 tackles (165 solo), 32 passes defensed, seven interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.

LeBron is 20% of his team on both offense and defense. You can argue he has the same kind of impact on offense and that he may be able to help out w/ field position, but once the defense is out there they're still an average defense that is last in the league in turnovers.

Re: Colts-Patriots thread

Well, Powers and Nevis are done for the year. Chapman has been upgraded to the active roster.

I hope the line really protects Luck this week. Belecheat would like nothing better than to end Luck's career or at least his season if his players get a chance.... I know Luck is big and he is a tough kid. So is Big Ben and that injury he has may be really serious. Shoulder injuries on the throwing arm can end a career for a QB... I hope for the best for Ben and Luck....

It is classless to bring up a possible injury to the future of the Colts organization just to rile up fans of the team. There's absolutely no connection between defensive players on the IR and a recently injured defensive tackle to a healthy quarterback.

I don't know what you are talking about. I was talking about the offensive line and I wished Luck and Ben the best. Take your classless somewhere else. All of these players are only one bad hit away from the end of their career..... I had no intention of riling up fans....

Re: Colts/Pats --- here we go again

While also insinuating that Belichick is the type of coach to head hunt QBs...

I don't see how anyone could read my post and think that I was wishing for Luck to be hurt. You bet that I think Belichick is that kind of coach or to try and rip up the knees of a star running back..... I only brought it up because I read what happened to Big Ben who is a big and tough as they come.....I really wasn't suggesting anything but I think there are four games coming up that could be dangerous for any players on the Colts....
